Karawara Vision
Karawara Pedestrian and Cycle Access Plan
Council adopted the Karawara Pedestrian and Cycle Access Plan (KPACAP) at its February 2025 Ordinary Council Meeting. The Plan was subsequently referred to the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage (DPLH) for endorsement, which was granted in September 2025.
The KPACAP is an action of the City’s Integrated Transport Plan and has been prepared in line with the Western Australian Planning Commission’s Procedure for the Closure of Pedestrian Access Ways – Planning Guidelines (2009). It provides a framework for assessing future requests to modify Pedestrian Access Ways (PAWs) or laneways in Karawara and guides decisions on related infrastructure and maintenance.
Further information is available on the Council Meetings and the City’s engagement page.
PAW closure: PAW No. 28, between Yallambee Place and Koolunda Court
In December 2020, Council resolved to progress a petition seeking closure of the PAW between Yallambee Place and Koolunda Court. This decision was reaffirmed at the April 2022 Ordinary Meeting. Details are available on the Council Meetings page.
The Western Australian Planning Commission endorsed the closure in October 2022. In 2025, the closure was advanced under the Land Administration Act 1997. In October 2025, the PAW land was allocated to adjoining landowners in accordance with the approved subdivision plan, and the City removed its infrastructure in November 2025.
